Art has always been the way I understand the world.

​

Long before I picked up a makeup brush, I was drawn to portraiture and observational drawing. That early appreciation for detail continues to shape the way I approach every production today. Makeup became the medium, but visual storytelling has always been the goal.

​

My introduction to makeup came through the underground ballroom community, where creativity, self-expression, and transformation are celebrated. Teaching myself through countless hours of study, practice, and experimentation, I developed a foundation rooted in timeless technique rather than trends. That approach continues to define my work today.

​

As an IATSE Local 798 Makeup Artist, I've had the privilege of contributing to feature films, television series, streaming productions, commercials, and advertising campaigns as a Department Head, Key Makeup Artist, and principal talent artist. My work has been recognized with four Emmy certificates for my contributions to Queer Eye, and I've collaborated with productions for Netflix, major television networks, national brands, and high-profile talent.

​

While makeup is my craft, filmmaking is my passion. I specialize in men's grooming, natural beauty, and continuity, approaching every project with a deep understanding of how makeup supports the story being told. I'm known for working quickly without sacrificing precision, anticipating continuity before it becomes a problem, and creating an environment where talent feels comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for.

Directors and producers often tell me that my attention extends beyond makeup. I pay close attention to the rhythm of production, the intention behind a shot, and the emotional tone of a scene so that every creative decision supports the larger vision. Whether leading a department or working closely with principal talent, my goal is always the same: to help every member of the production do their best work.

​

The productions eventually wrap, but the relationships often continue. That's the part of this industry I value most.
